Cousin Josiah. 



SCENE— Parlor richly furnished. 

Enter, Maria, l. 

3faria. ITow clnll and stupid these balls and parties are, to be 
sure! J wonder why Charlie is not here to-night? I don't believe 
mamma invited liini, because when I started to look over the in- 
vitations, she gathered them up and did not allow me to see the 
Iftilt of them. 1 don't see why she should take such a fH-edjudice 
against Cliarlie, I'm sure I think he's nice, anyway, (looks off L.) 
6h^ my ! there comes that horrid Mr. Fitzsimmons ! How^ can I 
escape him V Thank goodness — he didn't see me and has turned 
away, {looks off' ii.) It never rains, but it pours. How does it 
happen that cousin Josiah always manages to drop in just when he 
is wanted the least; he will shock the nerves of our high-toned 
company vritli his outlandish ways, and 1 must try and keep him in 
here until the company disperse, which won't be long, now. 

Enter, Josiah, r. 

Josiah. ITdw'dy do, 'Jvia ! (shakes kajids) I swan to gracious, 
'Eia, you're lookin' slap up! Sa.y, how's the folks? 
Maria. I'hey ; re enjoying good health. 

Josiah. Glad tu hear it, 1 am, b'gosh ! Didn't know as how but 
mayV)e you lolks might <^otch this new disease that's gittin' so fash- 
ionable now-a-days. I mean this ere I.a Grippe, an' I jes IcU ye, if 
3'e evei- (in 2it it, vou want to look out. 

Maria. Wliyso? 

Josiah. Oh, I tel) you, its terriferous: cold chills runnin' up an' 
down yer back, an' headaclie — oh, no, 1 guess not! an' sneeze — I 
should rather calculate to &t\yl I sneezed till I sneezed four of my 
best ribs loose, the fust iVdj. 

Maria. Indeed I 

Josiah. 1 did, fur a fact! {looks off -l.) But I say, gewhilikens! 
wake snakes, what's all them folks doin' here? 

Maria. We are having a ball. 

Josiah. Well now, b'gosh— if that ain't luck ! Sa}^, let's go in 
and dance. 

Maria. Did you ever? 

Josiah. No, I never seed sicb a lookhi' object as that feller is. 



I COUSIN J OS I AH, 

Say, 'Ria, is that ere thing with that ere swaller-tail coat and pants 
BO tight they must have been made on huii — is that ere a manV 

Maria. That is Mr. Fitzsimmoiis. 

Josiah. Persimmons? Well, h'gosh, he loo'<s like one of tliem 
puckery insects! But say, lets go in an' dance! 

Maria. I would much rather stay liere and visit with yon. 

{smiles on him 

Josiah. Sho— yon don't say so: Well now, hv mighty, I'm 
terpitually kerflummixed! The facts of the case is, 'Eia, I've never 
had much of an idea that you was very much impressed with my 
impressibility. 

Maria. It seems you were mistaken. 

Josiah. Well, by gum, 'Ria, ef you jes say the word, I'll stay 
with you till the last dog is dead and ground uj) into — 

Maria. How did you leave the folks at home? 

Josiah. Oh, they're all kickin' ! Oh. by the way, marra sent 
you some — (pnts his hand in pocJcei — t.((]:e-^ it out quickly — looks 
foolish — looks in pockel) Gosh all Jerusalem I Goll darn the luck, 
anyway ! 
• 3Iaria. Wb.at's the trouble? 

Josiah. Consarn that old fat womnn, anyhow! 

Maria. What is the trouble — won't yon lell me? 

Josiah. Trouble? Well, I'll tell you ! Marm slie .-ent you some 
nice jelly cake, an' ginger bread, an' pound cake, an' douglinuts, 
an' tarts made out of her raspberry jam; an' 1 bad 'em in my 
pocket so's 1 could keep 'cm sale, an' niter 1 got on the keers an' sot 
down, long come a big fat woman an' ijlanked herself down in the 
seat with me an' squeezed me up agin the winder till I Avasn't 
thicker than yer hand, an' in consequence — (looks in pockel) Oh, 
Jerusalem ! 

Maria, (looks in pocket) Really, that is too bad! That is a bad 
jam. I believe vou said raspberry. 

Josiah. Neow go long, 'Ria, you're pokin' fun at me; but say. 
'Riah, ef you like hasli, jcs dip in. (holds pocket 

Maria, (laughs) Xo, thanks! 

Josiah. All right; no harm done! But, sa}-, (takes her arm) 
let's go an' dance ! 

Maria. No, no; you know not what you ask! 

Josiah. Why not? 

Maria. I am afraid your treatment — 

Josiah. Treatment! treatment! Jerusalem wake snakes! efany 
of them fellers give me a!iy ch'n music, I'll plaster their mouths 
Bhet with — 

J/arm. What? 

Josiah. Hash — I've got a supply on hand ! (looks in pocket) Oh, 
Jerusalem ! 

Maria. Let us stay here; it will be niueh n^.ore pleasant. 

Josiah. Well, b'gosh! 1 ain't keerin' much ; but what will we 
du? We can't pla\' "blind man in the cornei-," or "pussy wants a 
bluftV I tell you — I've ies thougiit of it! 

Maria. "Well ? 

Josiah. You sing me a song. 

Maria. Will you promise not to interrupt me? 

Josiah. O.K. Turn voursell loose! 



CO us J Is" JOSIAH, h 

Maria sings, ^'Jly Charlie,'^ to air— '* Duffy's Grand Opening Night.''^ 

Maria. 01), I've got a sweet-heart named Charley 

He's such a nice sweet little beau ; 

His hair it is silken and curly, 

And he's mashed on me badly, I know! 

He brings me snfe home from the parties, 

And sometimes stays rather late; 

Last night we heard papa speaking — 
Josiali, When iVIcGinty fell over the gate. 

Chorus — Air to '^It's Money, ^' 

Maria. Oh, Josiah ! 

J'osiah. AVell, Maria? 

Maria. You great big country lout ! 

Josiah. Oh, Maria! 

Maria. Well, Josiah? 

Josiah. Little ducky, does yer mammy know yer out? 

He/rain — Luett — Air, ^'Irish Police on Grand Parade.'* 

Josiah. Just hear the people talking! 

Do you see tlie country clown? 

But what's tlie use of pouting, 

'\'V^I)en cousin Josiah comes to towfi. 
Maria. Oh, my Char'ey and me soon will marry, 

And ever so happy will be. 

^Ve'll live just like pigs in clover; 

Now wlio wouldn't envy poor me? 

But Charlie's got a crabbed old father. 

And two or three cranky old aunts. 

Old maids that are several years older, 
Josiah. Than O'Brien's old high-water pants. 

{chorus and refrain 
Maria. So Charlie and I soon will marry, 

In spite of those cranky old jades; 

They may fume and raise the old Harry, 

But Ave'll marry to spite those old maids. 

It will be love in a cottage, 

As he told me last night on the stoop; 

And if our love flies out at the window, 
Josiah, VVhy, then you'll both be in the soup! 

{choius and refrain — exit hpth at close 

CURTAIN. 

THE END. 



Note. — If the perfoimers are not singers, Maria can deliver the 
song as a recitation, omitting the refrain entirely, and the choiiis 
until the last verse, then at close Maria runs him otf, angry— Josiah 
lauiihiriff.
